Summary

It’s the year 20XX: The world is bursting with modern technology, yet style and slang has stayed stagnant since the 1920s-40s. Just as Mobsters are commonplace, so too are Monsters. In this universe, monsters were never trapped underground. Instead, the barrier that resulted from the Human-Monster War is actually territorial lines that were agreed upon by both sides. In the middle is “No-man’s Land”, where both sides can live together, trade, and enjoy the same entertainment. “The Underground” in this universe happens to be an actual place- an underground city located under No-man’s Land, made up of the “Business District” and “Entertainment District” where all kinds of illegal activity takes place.

You and your brother never had seen the appeal of getting mixed up with mobsters, yet here you both were. Your brother, Drago, the head of his own gang. Brought from the ground up with his own two hands.

Something big is coming. You can just feel it in your SOUL. In this world of danger and unrest between warring gangs, it really was anyone’s guess as to what that something really was.

Summary

Elena's vivid dreams started after finding that old leather-bound book with the strange emblem in the library basement. Dreams about a race of strange yet kind sentient creatures trapped under a mountain. The book had sparked and impressed upon her childish imagination so much that it was all she could think about. She was increasingly finding herself daydreaming about the "fictional chronicles" in that book to the point it was seriously affecting her current work project. Yet as much as she tried to focus on her work, she couldn't stop remembering every word and illustration that had planted itself in her memory.

This was a problem. A very BIG problem. Her daydreaming is what made her oblivious to the car that ended up ramming into her and placing her in a coma.

Somehow, instead of experiencing complete darkness, she somehow found herself in her vivid dreams.

"There is no way this is real. I'm dreaming... I'm having a really vivid lucid dream...RIGHT?!"
